I can’t find a hero i enjoy. I have played overwatch since Winter 2017 when i got the game. I’ve played and taken breaks and i have not been able to find a suitable hero for me. Recently i’ve been playing Mei and Reinhardt and i’ve noticed i’m good with them but they’re just not for me. I can’t use utility of mei and i’m too aggressive in playstyle for Reinhardt. Idk what i want to play anymore and it’s been messing me up quite a bit. Is there any character that is somewhat precise (by precise i mean not like junkrat where the grenades drop harder than my SR), does a decent bit of Damage and has an aggressive playstyle?
Winston has a more aggressive (above all more active) playstyle than Rein. Or any off tank. Zarya would be one with the need for precision.
An aggressive play style is usually more tied to you as a player than the hero. Most heroes can have an aggressive play style.
Usually when you play aggressive you need to be confident in your ability to outplay the opponent.
Like an agressive Widowmaker is one that would take more risky positions than most other widowmakers would, but they need to be confident that they will land the necessary shots before the enemy has time to retaliate.
When you say precise, are you talking about aim or that you have less room for error in general?
My first thoughts would be heroes like Wrecking ball, Tracer, Genji, Widowmaker, Ashe, Hanzo, Soldier 76, Mccree.
Some have to be more precise than others but are more risky to play too aggressively with, some are more forgiving but allows you to be more aggressive.
Tracer can be hyper aggressive and the smallest mistake can cost her life. But the bullet spread means her aim is a bit more forgiving.
Have you tried doomfist? Agressive, does damage, and if you know how, is extremely mobile.
That’s just not really true though. A character in overwatch is very linear as in they are made for one task and are good for specific playstyles, for example Orisa can play aggressively and can be good at it but her kit is very defensive right? I want a character that is DESIGNED in their kit to be aggressive.
As for the precise part i mean like take a symmetra i shoot her laser and it goes where i point it, but if i was playing like idk junkrat i shoot it but there’s a heavy drop.
Thanks alot for replying though i’ll see if one of the heroes interest me enough.
Another way to find what fits you the best: Mystery Heroes. You will immediately see what feels right, and you might be surprised by it.
Yes, some heroes are created to be more aggressive or defensive than others. But it doesn’t mean you can’t make them work with an other play style.
how to play aggressive vs defensive also varies from hero to hero.
Take Ashe for example, A defensive play style would be staying back behind your tanks and shoot from this relative safe position. while trying to throw the dynamite above the enemy rein shield from time to time.
A more aggressive play style would be to sneak up on a flank, dynamite them from behind and quickly finish as many people as you can with primary fire.
This puts you in a much more dangerous position and if you fail to kill enough people, you risk just feeding.
Both play styles can be very effective though.
Ofc some heroes are hard to play aggressively with. Like Orisa.
True true, i looked over the list there and i really don’t think those fit me that much.
I mean, it’s a bit difficult to give good suggestions if they just have to be able to play aggressively, deal decent damage and not have a lot of bullet drop, as this leaves about ½ the roster as possible candidates 
Do you prefer heroes that require a lot of mechanical skill, pre-planning, or a more reaction live in the moment kinda style?
Anything else?
I dont like alot of pre planning or mechanical stuff i just kinda like attacking and adaping to the enemies defense. For example when i used to play Mei i never planned doing a wall or something i just kinda reacted in the moment.
hmm.
Then i’m thinking perhaps something like Zarya, Roadhog, D.Va, Reaper, Moira?
Ashe did seem like a good suggestion but i also like characters who for the very most part are useful for the team.
Really hate Zaryas weapon, D.va’s kit in general and moira is very boring. I dislike roadhog for being just a little too defensive for me and i don’t like Reapers lack of presence.
Let me rephrase the first post. I want a character that is mobile (to some extent, i count rein as mobile for his charge), useful in most situations and is less about getting enemies to them and more about getting to the enemies.
Ashe is one of the strongest dps heroes atm and can be super useful if played well. She doesn’t provide that much utility for the team, but are good at applying pressure from more than just 1 angle, especially using BOB.
She is however a rather aim dependent hero.
Hog can be super aggressive. At least I’ve had great success playing him like that
Many of the more mobile heroes are also quite mechanically demanding.
If they aren’t very mechanically demanding, they won’t be dealing a lot of damage.
It wouldn’t really be balanced to have a mobile hero with a lot of damage that requires little mechanical skill and no pre-planning.
It kinda sounds like you want a hero that can do just about anything, which wasn’t really a thing since Brigitte, before she was nerfed repeatedly.
(Well D.Va is getting close)
Any of these requirements you don’t find as important as the others?
Lucio?
Has easy to use utility can be aggressive and get away with it, he is a jack of all trades.

Lucio is actually quite mechanically demanding. Mostly due to proper use of wall ride.
Yeah i realized that after about the hog idk just something about him i don’t like. Mechanical skill isn’t a problem i just mean i don’t want to sit there watching 50 Genji guides and practicing 6 hours a day to pull of a good dragonblade or deflect. Of course i can pre plan but i don’t want sombra who has to literally sit there waiting for just the right moment or the right situation to get a single kill.
A less important requirement is the mobility, it’s just a preference of sorts for me but not neccesary. Damage and being useful is a must.
Ashe is good sure but for me she’s the same as Hanzo and Widow where getting a pick is less of a process as say a Junkrat. When i play junkrat i attack all the time till i get a pick. Widow and Ashe attacks with alot of space in between the shots.
Ashe, Widow, Hanzo usually want to use any downtime to look for new/better positions. Which at least to me makes it feel like they don’t really have any downtime.
Hanzo like Junkrat can also keep spamming, but his fire rate is a bit lower i guess.
I’m not familiar with those other than from my personal experiences so that might explain it. I just have a hard time finding a character that’s not off.
I think the debate started alright, but you’ve got a bit picky. Just play mystery heroes, and if you really can’t find something that fits every one of your 9 needs, choose a different game!
